Smoke Management Forecast
National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah
445 AM MDT Thu May 16 2024......Cheng

.DISCUSSION...High pressure building in from the west will bring
more stable conditions to the area today, resulting in decreased
mixing, especially across portions of northern and western Utah. A
cold front will cross northern and central Utah tomorrow, and
increasing winds associated with the front will help bring a return
to excellent mixing. Transport winds will decrease on Saturday and
increase again on Sunday with the next cold front.
